The Louisville Courier-Journal proposes Lou

President Grani’i Policy.
President Grant, in his San Domingo mes
sage, reiterates, very nearly, the announcement
he made when he went into power, to-wit: that
be has no policy. But he has a policy—and it
is his only policy. It may be summed up in
the word, re-election, and that he intends
to accomplish, whatever it may c -st the people,
even the treedom of the ballot. T uat is Gram’s
policy.
The Kn-Klnx BUI.
The correspondent (“X”) of the Baltimore
Gazette, in a late letter, rivm the information
and vouches lor its comctni-ss.lhatMr. Sumner
was consulted by Dawes, Blane, and others
of that ilk in the House, and dictated the terms
of Sheila bearer’s amended bill,which i& infinitely
more pernicious than that even of Buffer, Inas
much as it combines (as a compromise) tbe in
vidious personal tyranny to the white man in
volved in Sumners theory, with the less dan
gerous, auitious views ol the President.
The Party of mural Ideaa and Progress.
The Radicals in Connecticut, at the late elec
tion, lorgcd a telegraphic dispatch lor election
eering purjmsea The dispatch purported to be
one lrom Governor English to Thurlow Weed,
calling lor funds to lie used in the election. A
evvard ol five hundiel dollars has been ofiered
or the authors.
The Connecticut Elections.
The latest intelligeuce we have in relation to
the Connecticut election shows that there is
nothing in the result to make Democrats de
spondent or Uadiculs exultant. There is no
doubt that English, the Democratic candidate
lor Governor, ana nearly all the Democratic
ticket lor State officers, have received a ma
jority ol the votes cast, it is, however, not im
probable that the election may be thrown into
the Legislature, on account ol irregularities
which took place at the election, such as put
ting ballots in the wrong box, and misspelling
names ol candidates, lful should the count
show a small majority for the Radical ticket,
there is nothing iu the result to dishearten or
discourage, in the least degree, the Democracy.
What are the facts ? The Democrats have not
carried the general election in that State but
three times, tn the last lourteen years, and al
ways by a very small majority. Gov. English
was elected in 1870 by about 800 votes, the
Radicals electing three out ol lour ol the mem
bers o Congress, and a majority of both Houses
ol the Legislature. At the late election, over
6leven hundred negroes voted tor the first time,
and it is conceded that they cast almost a solid
vote for the Radical ticket. This vote was suf
ficient to reverse the majority ol English in
1870 by several hundred votes. So that, it is
quite clear that the Radicals, if they have car
ried the State, have carried it by the negro
vote, the Democratic party making a gain ol
white votes. How any Southern man or South
ern journal can exult over such a victory,
would be hard to conceive ot, it we did not
know that there are men amongst us who would
sell their country lor the spoils ot office—whose
political creed is found in their worship of the
golden calf.
Rad I callatm —Progress.
The Radicals claim that their’s is the party
of progress; that its march is onward, keeping
time with the spirit ot the age. It is difficult to
understand what is meant by the term progress,
when applied to this party; or, if understood
in its ordinary acceptation, what its claims to
this distinction rest upon. In what has it made
progress? Where are the fruits it would ex
hibit as evidence of progress ? It certainly will
not have the audacity to claim that its moral
ity is ot a better stamp than that which belongs
to other people, or that, in the application ot its
principles, it has done more than others toward
the improvement of society and the advance
ment ol civilization. It so, where is the evi
dence of it ? Is not the converse of the propo
sition true V Take this par ty ol progress at the
South, and consider of what it is composed—
examine its personel, and see what sort of stufi
it is made of. Morality its rule ot action, and
the advancement of society and civilization its
object! 11 it was not so serious a matter, the
mere suggestion ot the idea would be supreme
ly ridiculous. We have been taught in our
moral code, "Thou shall not steal,” and “thou
shalt not bear false witness against thy neigh
bors.” The liudicai party lias been enabled fo
live only by the violation ot these two
commandments. It has been able to keep
bouI and body together only by appropria
ting to itselt other people’s goods, and
covering up its track by falsehood. No body,
or set of men, living or dead, that ever had con
trol of public aflairs, has de.-poiled the people
ot their substatce with a more ruthless hand
than this party. It3 rule at the South during
i he last five years, has been, in fact, one great
raid upon property. To grow rich and fatten at
the expense oi tbe people has been the leading
purpose ot those who have been at the head ol
affairs. This ib the morality ot tbe party of
progress—the sum aod substance ot its political
ethics. It dubs an honest man an old fogy—
says lie is behind the times. It claims to.be ag-
grt 8si ve. It certainly is as to tbe rights of others
especially the right oi property, its record is
oneol aggression—this is iis progress. It will be
well tor this party to reflect—thai motion—move
rueni di es not always unpL progiess. One may
move backward as well a* tor ward; so with a
party as well as a people, it is harder, too, to
go upward than downward—Jacilis descensus
averno. This is tbe direction the Radical party
has taken and is pursuing. It course is down
ward, downward, to perdition.
fflr. Morion Make* a Platform for Ihe
National Democracy.
Senator Morion, ol Indiana, was serenaded
in Washington, on Saturday night, and made a
speech, which no doubt was intended to tore-
sha 'ow the plan ot ihe Radical campaign that
is appro: ching. To do 111 s, he thought it im
portant to anticipate the acoou of the National
Democratic Convention, and lay down a plat-
lorm for that pariy. In doing this, he has, ot
cour «, misrepresented its purposes and policy.
1I< re is .i ha: lie saui:
Alter making some reference to the Ku-KIux,
he held that, it the Democrats got coutrol oi the
central government, they would not make ap
propriation to pay pensions to Northern sol
diers. «n!es9 Southern soldiers were also pro-
vidid lor; that they would not pay the public
debt, unless provision was made tor the loss ol
slaves and property in the South; that this
would add fifteen hundred or two thousand
millions to the public debt; and that the col
ored men of the South would be disfranchised
within sixty days, or reduced to slavery or serf
dom. This, he claimed, was supported by their
po) cy in not accepting the reconstruction acts
es constitutional.

The German Losses.—The official lists of
the killed and wounded on the German side
during the war have now been made up at Ber
lin, as far as relates to the army of the late
North Geiman Bund and the Baden division.
The number given of killed iD action is 13,960,
of wounded 88,924, or total casualties, without
the missing, 102,884. But to these will have to
be added at least 20,000 more of Bavarians and
Wurtembergers, so that the Germans altogether
may be considered" to have lost 120,000, that is,
more than S'x times as many as Prussia lost in
1866, when the casualties did not quite reach
20.000. The expenditure of the war is in still
greater proportion to that of 1866, owing to the
longer duration. The latter was returned at
124.000. 000 thalers. The present war has been
rudely estimated at Berlin at amounts varying
from $600,000,000 to $750,000. But these esti
mates are for money laid out, and do not include
stores expended. These it took $20,000,000 to
replace in 1866. Lastly, there are the liabilities
for pensions, and for compensation to the Ger
mans driven out of France. The latter claim
having been excluded from the treaty, is under
stood to have been handed over to the German
Government to be met out of the general pecu
niary penalty in posed on France.
A Grim Jose.—In the days immediately suc
ceeding the battle of Sadowa, a story went the
round ol the Paris papers which has a curious
interest at the present moment. It waa said
that certain Alsacian officers, with the caution
tor which their race has ever been character
ized, wrote the Prussian Premier, when there
was a ta'k ot war between France and Ger
many, ,-k : ng whether, in the case ot Alsace be
ing ur.ntxid would they be retained in the
' v. ri.mm' service Count Bismarck, so the
ry iuus, replied to his correspondents that
there was no prospect whatever of the contin
gency occurring, but that, under all circum
stance®, it might be as well if the officials ol Al-
-ace were to practice themselves in the pro
nunciation. ot German. Numerous were the
rfiiasantries to which the anecdote gave rise;
but the idea that within four years the joke
might be resized in grim earnest, probably
never presented itselt to any one of the jour
nalists who dilated on the anecdote as an illus
tration ot Bismarckian insolence. What was
treated as an absurdity in 1866 has become a
fact in 1871; and lrom this time forward Ger
man becomes the official language of the pro
vinces wrested from France.—London Tele
graph.
A Competent Witness.—“William Look !
Tell us, William, who made you?”
William, who was considered a fool, screwed
up his lace, and looked thoughtfully and some
what bewildered. “Moses, t s’pose!”
“That will do,” said Counsellor Grey, ad
dressing the court. “The witness says he sup
poses Moses made him; that is an intelligent
answer, more than I thought him capable of
giving, for it shows that he has some faint idea
of Scripture. I submit that it is Dot sufficient
to entitle him to be sworn as a witness capable
ot giving evidence.”
‘•Air. Judge,” said the fool, “may 1 ax the
lawyer a question ?”
“Certainly,” said the Judge.
“Well then, Mr. Lawyer, who d’ye s’pose
made you ?”
“Aaron, I s’pose," said Counsellor Grey, imi
tating the witness.
Alter the mirth had somewhat subsided, the
witn-ss drawled out, “Wall, ne-ow, we do read
in tue book that Aaron once made a calf, but
who’d a thought the darned critter had got in

The Judge ordered the man to be sworn.
Atlanta and Its Surroundings*
Our correspondent’s remarks on the above
subject, in many respects, meet with onr ap

Works” and “ Public Schools,” we prefer to
reserve any endorsement. We regard the in
troduction of an abundant supply of water into
Atlanta, by a judicious system of water works,
as almost a necessity; and the encouragement
of education, by means of public schools, as an
object of prime importance.
Tbe Great yietcalt Cotton Case.
The Augusta Constitutionalist, of yesterday,
says:
“ This great cotton case, which has been in
litigation for the past six years, came up be
fore the United 8tates Circuit Court, in Savan
nah, on Tuesday. The case is that ot John
Garsed vs. William A. Bell, Jeremiah Beall and
Thomas Metcalf, in equity, involving 9,974 bales
of cotton. As we learn from the Savannah Re
publican, Judge Erskine, in his decision, made
the following points: He held, first, that 8chley,
who assumed to be tbe agent of the respond
ents, had, at the time of the transaction, no au
thority to act as such, and to make the contract
with complainants; second, that the question
as to whether Messrs. Beall aud Metcalf, subse
quent to the purchase, ratified the act of Schley
and made him their agent in the transaction
was an issue to be tried by a jury at the next
term of the Court. The Court also held that
the military authorities, who assumed to try the
case in 1865, had no jurisdiction.’’
Republican Dress on Ka-KInx Bill.
The New York Evening Post, a leading Re
publican journal, speaks of the Ku-Klux bill,
which lately passed the House, and is to be
voted on to-day in the Senate in the following
terms:
“ Every constitutional restriction upon the
power of the Executive is withdrawn, and in
stead ot the Constitution and its checks, the
nation is left to the voluntary forbearance and
sound judgment of the President as the so’e
safeguard for its liberties. If he should choose
at any lime to declare the city of New York or
of Washington in rebellion, and to take posses
sion of it with the army, under the wiil of him
self as commander-in-chief, the people must
choose between submission and armed resist
ance to the enforcement of an act of Congress.
That is to say, it gives the color of law to such
a coup d'etat as made Napoleon III master of
France.”
The Commercial Advertiser, another Repub
lican paper, says: “ The disturbed condition
of affairs in some ot the Southern States, due
to political animosity, is not to be permanently
bettered by enactments which threaten to sub
vert all local rule, and to establish in its place
the strong hand of the Federal authority."
The South wants no more military govern
ment. That is the very cause of ail the trouble,
with the imported governments that have
sprung from n and been imposed on its people.
If tbe Southern States are to become States
again in tact as well as in name, it can only be
by the free and sovereign act of their own in
habitants aud citizens This military experi
ment is the boldest, most perilous and truly
rum u? of ad the proceedings of the time. It
not only d 1-rs the dtstreu consummation of
political' unity, it threatens to mak- it utterly
impossible. It. makes a Poland, sn Ireland of
the South; aud in the act it inseusioiy destroys
tbe virtue of Republicanism in the North also.
Farewell Union, it it is to be one of force. Dis
miss all thoughts of a continental confederation

“ The reported riot of the Pennsylvania min

than was at first anticipated, and the troops

Atlanta and Her Surrounding*.
Mr. Editor—1 have, for some time; had my
mind greatly aroused as to the city of Atlanta.
In the wild and speculative views of many of
our citizens, as to the almost unparallelled
progress of «but— city, they seem to have lost
sight of the fact that to sustain and keep up the
progressive movement now on foot, a general
system of economy must be adopted in the ad
ministration of her government, and a liberal
course pursued in the demands made upon the
resources of the inhabitants by taxation.
There can be nothing more clear to the minds
of the people, who heve closely watched the
every day occurrences around us,than that one of
the most serious, and to me a very alarming one,
drawbacks upon our mercantile and mechanical
interests, is the excessive rents, which are de
manded by landlords. This may be Been in the
everyday changes made by tenants, both in bus
iness and private houses. Hundreds who have
engaged in business in Atlanta, and “run well
awhile,” have been compelled to close their bus
iness, as the result of excessive rents, while some
other enters the same house, hoping to.be more
fortunate, and soon meets with the same results.
In this way there is one continuous stream of
tenants, each one falling a new victim to the
same calamity. This evil is equally applicable
to those who are compelled to rent private
houses. A class oi men, known as mechanics ;
the very men upon whom our future prosperity
and success as a people must greatly depend, if
we hope to sustain our reputation abroad as the
Gate City. The exhorbitaut rents demanded
trom the merchant, mechanic and laboring
classes, will stop up every avene to wealth, and
foraver close the doors against those who would
seek homes among us with their enterprise and
capital.
Anolher alarming evil, which I feel it a duty
to allude to, is one no less discouraging and op
pressive upon all classes ot our people, that of
the heavy aud burthensome taxes levied by the
City Council. That money must be had to car
ry on the municipal affairs of city government,
I will not deny; hut, that a special tax must be
levied upon the mechanic or the professional
man, is at least questionable, in law, and should
at once be obliterated from the statutes. Am I
asked how the government can be sustained ? I
answer, curtail expenses, have fewer fat offices,
and Eutopean schemes of “Water Works,” and
“Free Schools”—the “Siamese Twins” ot those
who expect to reap, at no distant day, large re
wards tor their labors. And yet ahother, of
immense magnitude, that of tearing down
houses, ripping up potato patches, for
the purpose ot opening Broad street. If
we would have the city to grow in wealth and
greatness, lower the rents and reduce tbe sys
tem of taxation. When this shall have been
done, than thousands who are frightened off
from a knowledge of these existing lacts, will
rush in with their capatal and energy, unite in
giving an impetus to that grand scheme which
mast ultimately make us the glory and admira
tion of the East and West.
Bat, take the reverse of this—keep up rents,
increase your taxation and demand payment
even at the sacrifice of the poor man’s property,
and my word for it, you will find your mer
chants seeking new fields of labor, your me
chanics starved out by oppression, and the
future of Atlanta a mere mist, an atom in the
sunbeam, compared to what it might have been,
under a different organization of things.
The greit Atlantic & West Railroad, the
mighty artery, wnich gives life and nutrition to
the city, must, under the present order of things
feel more or leo* the shock. Drive out the en
terprising merchants through the agencies ol
rents and taxes, and you at once cut off one of
the resources of the road; bat encourage en
terprise, by increasing the advantages of the
merchant and the mechanic, and all other de
velopments which may be brought to bear upon
our general welfare, then this immense feeder
to our prosperity will pour into onr midst im
mense and untold treasures which will render
ns a happy and prosperous people, and make
Atlanta the queen ot the South. XXX.
The Tribune Ku-Klux editor is still ku-kluck-

The Chronicle newspaper, of Cincinnati, gives
thfi points ot a little romance in reality, which
deserves narration, if on no other account than
because it is thoroughly un-American. During
the dimmer of 1869, an only son ot one of the
wealthiest merchants of the city above named,
while raralizing for the season in Adams coun
ty, Aame State, had his volatile fancy strongly
attracted by a village belle of more than ordi
nary beauty and accomplishments, and forth
with devoted himself to what he intended should
be no more than harmless sentimental pastime.
The yonng lady, however, was not a person to
be flirted with and then forgotten, like the ordi-
nay country lass, and early in the acquaintance
the city beau found himself too serious
ly interested to carry out his first self-con
ceited idea. In fact, before returning to
the city he made an explicit avowal ot
his unchangeable affection, and, after
persistent soiitit&tion, induced the maiden
to promise him her hand if his lamily
should approve the engagement This latter
was a consideration which had not yet entered
into the speculations ot the hasty suitor, and
the more he thought of it after tbe reminder the
less became his confidence in the likelihood ot
its favorable result. Still, upon rejoining his
father in the city, he maniufly related all the
circumstances ot the case, explained that his
sweetheart was a well educated orphan, with
$3 009, and eardteatly besought the paternal cou-
sent to his proposed alliance. The old gentle
man was an invalid, very anxious that his son
should be well settled in domestic life before
succeeding to his patrimony; but the idea ot
that only son’s marriage with a country girl ot
neither family nor appreciable estate was not at
all agreeable to him, and, upon finally exacting
the supplementary information that ihe daugh
ter-in-law proposed to him was a lioman Cath
olic, he flatly refused to sanction the misalli
ance. Furthermore, his arguments were oi such
force, or the filial mind to which they were ad
dressed oi such weakness, that the son- himself
began to doubt the wisdom of his own choice,
and, in consequence, wrote to Adams County
a letter of implied retraction, not to be
misunderstood by any high-3pirited girl
In short, he required htr to change
her religion; and her very proper answer
was a formal release of him from all engage
ments witb the writer. While, however, the
girl had the self respect and virtuous strength
of mind to accord such release to another, she
could not as readily free her own heart in m
the absorbing love to which it had been com
mitted for life; and, accordingly, sooa after act
ing as above, she withdrew quietly trom her na
tive village and entered a convent in a neigh
boring State as a boarder, tbus seeking tlik con
solation of religion lor her griet, and preparing
herseli, as she contemplated, for an ultimate
retirement from the world lor life. So, the
fickle lover, with his dying father, and the re
jected ladv in a nunnery, the two remained
virtual strangers to each other until a sh >rt
time ago; when, one day after receiving a letter,
the fair novice was surprised in her room oy
one ot the sisterhood on her knees in passi'n-
ate prayer for a soul departed and another
almost ready to follow. The letter, in tremu
lous characters, was lrom the untauhtul lover
ot two years ago, relating his lather’s recent
death and his own critical illness, and irnplor
ing the only woman whom he had ever loved
to come to him at once. He was being ca;ed
lor by his two sisters in a country house be
longing io the family, a short dis
tance lrom Cincinnati; and thither at his sum
mons repaired the one of all the world whosi
presence aud forgiveness were necessary to ihe
peace of his sell-accusing soul The reunion ol
the lovers took place beside the death-bed of the
merchant’s son, who, in his conscience stricken
importunity, would not credit the pardon of hi
visitor unless she should consent to wed him a:
he lay there dying. His mourning sisters join
ing in this intreaty, the orphan could not main
tain her first refusal; and so, with death nt. t lu
door, a priest performed the cermony oi mam-
age, and in less than an hour thereafter, a wid
owed maid wept with the sisters .for her dead,
Alter the funeral it was made known that ike
departed bridegroom had bequeathed a lull kali
of his rich inheritace to his wile, who, it is on
derstood, will endow with it the convent which
it is her intention to assume the Dlack veil —
Thus ends a romance of a tone and coloring
savoring far more of Europe thau America, ant
cot a-together insignificant, perhaps, oi thetran
sitioaal religious changes assimuiating us mote
and more every year to the spiritual systems of
older countries.

A Horse Retaken from Gen. John HI.
gan. the Equine Monel.
Tne board of commissioners, consisting
Generals Barnes, Schriver and Michler, appoint
ed by Congress to inspect the pi- s er model of
Henry Browne’s equtstrian statue oi the kite
Major General Winfield Scott, arrived in New
barg one day this week in carrying out their m s
siou The model was accepted some months
ago, but it is not yet completed. Their social
business at this visit was to examine rim military
trapp ngs oi the statue, as these have to be mad
coniorurable to usages, which are as intiexiole
as the proverbially strict “laws oi the Medes and
Persians." The inspectors found everything in
“apple-pie order,” and expressed themselves as
being highly pleased with the correct as Weil as
artistic manner in which the work had been
done. The statue will stand sixteen feet and six
inches in height, and the length will ot course,
according to rules sculptoriai, be the same. It
is two feet six inches higher and longer than
Mr. Browne’s statue oi General Washington in
Union square, New York city. About the 1st
Oi June the work will be completed, aud the
model will then be removed in sections to
Wood’s foundry, in Philadelphia, where the
work of moulding and casting in metal will be
performed, occupying about one year. The
materials to be used in casting the statue are to
t»e some of the pieces oi artil.cry which Scott
captured in his Mexican campaign, aud it will
weigh between three aud four thousands pouuds.
It is to be erected iu Franklin square, Washing
ton. The horse is model ed trom a Kentucky
thoroughbred that was recaptured lrom the
great guerilla(?) John Morgan, at the time
of his raid in Ohio during the war, and
which i3 now in the possession ot Mr. Browne.
VIorgan had run oft about $39,000 worth oi suck
lrom the larm ol Mr. Alexander, an extensive
horse breeder, and among the rest was this
animal—a splendid looking equine, and wor
thy to be taken as a model ior Scott’s
charger—which was re-taken from Morgan.
The position of the horse is admirably chosen
to express both repose and watchful attention.
The ears are erect and the nostrils inflated, as il
the beast, silently obeying the will of its rider,
Still “scuffed the battle from afar,” and was im
patient to “mingle in the fray.” The reii s ate
held loosely in the General's left hand, whiie
the right, restiDg on his hip, grasps his field
glass. He wears the inevitable chapeau, which
he never could be persuaded to lay aside, but
which the military men of these degenerate
times have geueraliy discarded, wearing instead
the “regulation cap.” The artist has been at
work upon this statue for about two years. The
first appropriatioa made by Congress to defray
the expense of it was $20,000, but subsequently
an additional sum ol $15,000 was appropriated,
the original amount proving inadequate to cover
the cost. During the progress oi the work a
large number of artists, from New York and
other cities, have visited Mr. Browne’s studio,
which is charmingly located on the lett bank
of the Hudsou. about two miles north ot New-
burg. nr «■
At a banquet celebration oi the battle of
Banker Hill, Thomas Gill, the Boston editor,
who died a while ago, told his neighbor at the
table that his father fought at Bunker Hill Up
on which the neighbor jumped into the first
space between orations aud announced the fact,
and named the worthy sou oi the noble sire
who was with them. And then there was a
thundering applause, the glasses were filled
high to the patriot father and son, and there
were irresistible calls lor “Gill! Gill!’’ until he
arose and made a speech, short, to-wit: “Gen
tlemen, my father was a soldier in that never-
to-be-torgotten fight, but he was in the British
ranks.” He sat down amid loud silence, and
the banqueters, paying uo more attention to
Gill, went along about their regular business.

however, appeared this day, quite unexpectedly,

marked the change, and inquired if he was in
